fix mgmt_pending_valid is introduce and use to check if the\nmgmt_pending hasn't been removed from the pending list, on the complete\ncallbacks it is used to check and in addtion remove the cmd from the list\nwhile holding mgmt_pending_lock to avoid TOCTOU problems since if the cmd\nis left on the list it can still be accessed and freed.\n\nBUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in
